November 9, 2006: Day 12 - Lake Arenal kayaking

On this day Julia and myself opted out of the 2nd (more gruelling) day of mountain biking and instead we chose to go flatwater kayaking on Lake Arenal. Diana and Nanhee went canyoning so Bethany, Erik and Elliot went biking.


Laguna de Arenal is the 2nd largest lake in Central America (after Lake Nicaragua) and this lake was created in 1968 by the damming of some rivers in a hydroelectric project. A few small towns were sunk in the creation of this lake.

Julia and I were really glad we chose to do this relaxing activity instead of sweating our asses off on bikes
